The Prospector

Occasional ramblings from an Alaskan prospector:
"Let us journey to a lonely land I know.
There's a whisper on the night-wind,
there's a star agleam to guide us,
And the Wild is calling,
calling. . .let us go." Robert Service

Lance Mackey, a four-time Yukon Quest winner, and Hugh Neff followed close behind. Mackey finished second, at 2:38 p.m. and Neff was third at 4:18 p.m. Congratulations to the top three for a great race.
